[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/memtest86: bump version to 8.00

[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/memtest86: bump version to 8.00

[Bernd Kuhls]

https://github.com/memtest86plus/memtest86plus/releases/tag/v8.00

Upstream merged memtest.bin and memtest.efi into mt86plus:
https://github.com/memtest86plus/memtest86plus/commit/71d061a4c7cd22fe882bb025b3a061745d952d4c

and renamed the build directories:
https://github.com/memtest86plus/memtest86plus/commit/a10664a2515a81b07ab8ae999f91e8151a87eec6

Upstream commit
https://github.com/memtest86plus/memtest86plus/commit/6f4ec848c4e9291626236bca457baf7b95542325
removed the override of $CC, for details of the problem see this thread:
https://lists.buildroot.org/pipermail/buildroot/2023-December/366174.html

and in fact the first build command now reads

/home/bernd/buildroot/output/per-package/memtest86/host/bin/i686-buildroot-linux-gnu-gcc
 -m32 -x assembler-with-cpp -c -I../../boot -o boot/x86/startup.o ../../boot/x86/startup32.S

instead of this command seen with version 7.20:
gcc -m32 -x assembler-with-cpp -c -I../boot -o boot/startup.o ../boot/startup32.S

This should hopefully fix the build on non-x86 hosts:
https://autobuild.buildroot.net/results/fc1/fc14be4f2e5b1db2f7313156b50c9e2e298b06e9/

Deliberately not used "Fixed:" tag because I cannot easily test the
build on non-x86 hosts.
